The eagle has landed

16 years ago I bought a sewing machine from a back street shop for £12. A few items were cobbled together on it, but with a definite lack of finesse. I became so aggravated by its lack of tension skills that it jolly well had to stay inside its case (other than emergency situations.)

Today the packaging came off a brand spanking new machine, the likes of which I never dared dream, and it's mine!!!

I've just hemmed a toga for Miss Bs Greek Day at school tomorrow. It's fare this simplest of projects highlighted my lack of practice but, that aside, it's clear this machine and I are going to be good buddies. Now pass me the manual!
